After the Royal Wedding, Spike keeps having terrible nightmares about that fateful day. In an attempt to console her friend, Twilight finally gets him to talk about his dream. However, what she discovers, is much worse than she could've imagined ·TheVClaw

After returning from the Dragon Migration, Spike begins to feel even lonelier with an empty space inside him (even though he proclaimed the ponies as his family)... All he wants is one thing really and the only pony who can give him that is a certain lavender unicorn

Simple and sweet. Too many writers try this sort of thing and get caught up on finicky little points that detract from the story. You pulled it off perfectly though by keeping it simple and having them say what needed to be said.

It is beautiful and comforting to see that little by little, this reality is made present in the community. some have that hope, to see a day in the series, a chapter where this statement, this reality, mother and son, it would be more sad if dirijen well written and well, can be crowned as one of the great, but although beautiful is dangerous, it can also mark the end of it.

D'aw! So cute! I prefer the brother/sister relationship, myself, but this was awesome.

He noticed Twilight doing the same on her own body, before walking to his side and looking down at him. “Now Spike, hold onto me please,” she instructed. He complied as he wrapped his arms around her leg. “Now close your eyes, until I say to open them.”

He was confused, but obeyed nonetheless. Twilight used her magic to form a sphere around them that soon closed in on itself. With a pop, they were gone.

Great story, but you just might want to fix that little bit where it shows some code

She crossed off “Send Report to Princess Celestia” before she spoke. “Just stand still for a moment please Spike,” she instructed him as he obeyed. She closed her eyes and focused her magic. A lavender aura surrounded Spike, and he began to feel a tingling sensation originating from his feet. He looked at them, but nothing happened. The aura ceased and he looked around his body to see any changes. No changes were made and he just shrugged it off.

I really wish the show could do something like this. It would show they had serious guts if they made an episode specifically aimed for adopted kids with Spike and Twilight as the main focus. This is one of my favorite stories on this site just because I support the mother/son relationship of those two.

For now, I'll just stick with this story! I don't think I can give you enough props for this. You sir, kick ass!

I personally dislike the idea of the two having a mother/son relationship. Lauren Faust's original intention was to have Celestia raise Spike, and it's pretty clear (or so I thought) that Spike is supposed to be a stand-in for a little brother. The show is, after all, aimed at little girls who typically have younger siblings, not kids.

Although I do hope that this image of their relationship dies sooner rather than later, this is probably the only fanfic ever written (aside from everything written by The Descendant ) that that I really loved.

And thank-you for pointing out that major problem with Winter Wrap-Up. Cindy Morrow obviously did not think that one through very carefully. And yet, even if he never would have drowned on the show, it is still unfortunately canon that the ponies were laughing at him while he got sick. That episode cannot be fixed.
